Fury mounts over ‘false’ claims against UN rapporteur
- After a circulated truncated clip, France 24 and Reuters verified Francesca Albanese did not call Israel the `common enemy of humanity` during her February 2026 Doha Forum address.
- Since taking the mandate in 2023, her October 2024 report `Genocide as Colonial Erasure` argued there were reasonable grounds to suspect genocide, and her 2025 Human Rights Council report traced an economy of genocide implicating Western governments.
- Event transcripts show she identified the `common enemy` as systems—`financial capital`, `algorithms` and `weapons`—not a state, Albanese clarified publicly.
- Legal pressure in Paris escalated when Jurdi filed a crime report accusing Jean-Noël Barrot, French foreign minister, of spreading false information, while Amnesty International demanded European states retract accusations and the UN human rights office defended rapporteurs amid rising misinformation.
- Analysts and Reuters observed that over 100 cultural figures and a coalition of 116 human-rights organisations defended Albanese, while the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation warned fabricated claims could undermine credibility.

It has unequivocal anti-Albanese form – it tried and failed in 2025 to prevent h…
Albanese’s Latest Remarks Expose a Pattern the UN and the Media Can No Longer Ignore
Key Takeaways: Pattern, not a slip: Francesca Albanese’s latest remarks at an Al Jazeera forum – invoking a global “common enemy” tied to financial power and control – echo classic antisemitic tropes and are consistent with her documented history of inflammatory rhetoric. Context matters: This is the same UN official previously sanctioned by the United States for antisemitic and pro-terror language, now appearing on a platform that also hosted…
